Have start_command() create a pipe to read the stderr of the child.

This adds another stanza that allocates a pipe that is connected to the
child's stderr and that the caller can read from. In order to request this
pipe, the caller sets cmd->err to -1.

The implementation is not exactly modeled after the stdout case: For stdout
the caller can supply an existing file descriptor, but this facility is
nowhere needed in the stderr case. Additionally, the caller is required to
close cmd->err.
